Biscuits for Two

SUBMITTED BY: Bessie Hulett

"I CREATED this recipe in a larger quantity to enter in the Kentucky State Fair. It won first place! Since biscuits are best fresh out of the oven, I sized my recipe down to yield four - perfect for two. I make them whenever biscuits fit into the menu. -Bessie Hulett, Shively, Kentucky"

Terrible. I've made tons of biscuit recipes from this site. This has got to be the worst. I made no changes to the original recipe. They did not rise much at all. The texture was weird, they were not light & fluffy. The taste was very bland. I would never make these again!

I just finished making these biscuits and they came out great! I made it for 5 servings and didn't have any problem with it. My husband, who thinks he an expert at biscuits :-) said they were good. He said they might be a little bland, but they would be perfect with jelly on them. (I hadn't put the butter on top of them yet, so he probably wouldn't have said they were bland). I read the other two reviews and they said their biscuits didn't rise, but mine did. I prefer buttermilk biscuits, but these are pretty good too.
